Another Cradle Mountain local. This cheeky Black Currawong gave me a rather intense stare through the window of the lodge I was staying in, checking whether I had anything to share. #wildoz #birds

Just published a new album "Tasmania: Wild Coast". Recorded in the coastal heathlands of Mount William NP, Tasmania, this recording features subtle birdsong with the distant roar of the Tasman Sea. Here are a few photos from the recording location. Link to album in comments #wildoz #fieldrecording

These young emus took off in typical chaotic running style when I stopped the car, but then when I got out to take a photo their curiosity got the better of them & they cautiously crept back to have a look at the strange human sitting on the ground! #wildoz

Put some headphones on and enjoy this ethereal predawn soundscape. The fluty phrases of the Pied Butcherbird are sublime, like music floating across the arid plains. This is an excerpt from the album "Australia: Outback Dawn" wildambience.com/albums/austr... #wildoz #fieldrecording #soundscape

A pair of Red Kangaroos in the soft light after sunset. I love the earthy colours of the outback! Sturt National Park, Australia #wildoz #australia

Female and male Red Kangaroos stand looking straight at the viewer. The light is subdued and the surrounding vegetation and stony ground are out of focus.

I've just released a new soundscape album "Australia: Outback Dawn" recorded in spring in Paroo-Darling NP, NSW which was alive with stunning wildflowers and plenty of birdlife after recent rain. Link to album page in comments. #soundscape #fieldrecording #biodiversity

One of the stranger sounds of the tundra and boreal forest in the far north. The comical calls of the Willow Ptarmigan, recorded in Dalarna County, Sweden. Such an unexpected and silly sound! #biodiversity #fieldrecording #sounds #bioacoustics

On a hike through the mossy montane forests of Kolombanagara, Solomon Islands, I found this incredible little grasshopper. This is a species from the genus Opiptacris, locals called them the 'rasta grasshopper'. It seems this taxon is endemic to this small island. #inverts #insects

The exotic sounds of a remote tropical island in the western Solomons. Tetepare is a sanctuary of undisturbed primary rainforest & is fringed by stunning coral reefs. I've just enjoyed 6 days here recording it's unique soundscapes & wildlife. #biodiversity #solomonislands #fieldrecording

A cool Australian insect sound. Not a cricket, cicada or katydid - it's a male Common Whistling Moth (Hecatesia fenestrata)! They have special structures on the edge of their forewings to make these very unmothlike sounds while they buzz around in circles in to attract a mate! #wildoz #bioacoustics

A dawn chorus from the tropical rainforest of Kutini-Payamu (Iron Range), Cape York. Bonus points for identifying some of the diagnostic sounds in this one that could only be heard only in this region of Australia! 🔍 #wildoz #fieldrecording #soundscape #bioacoustics

Sounding somewhere between a deranged cat and a newborn baby, the calls of the Green Catbird are one of Australia's weirdest bird sounds! Recorded in Bunya Mountains NP, Queensland. #wildoz #fieldrecording #sounds

A little Rhinoceros Beetle (Dasygnathus trituberculatus) protesting being in the spotlight! This species makes strange squelching, scraping sounds when it feels threatened. Recorded in to Lamington National Park, Queensland. #wildoz #ausinverts #inverts

One of Australia's unique avian voices - the song of a male Brown Songlark. A melodic jumble of electric buzzes & scratchy metallic notes, it has been described as sounding like a wheel squeaking on a rusty axle! #wildoz #birds #fieldrecording #birdsong

Female Satin Bowerbird - she doesn't have the dazzling glossy ink blue of the male but is still a stunner! #wildoz #birds

Female Satin Bowerbird perched on a branch. The bird is an olive green colour on the upperparts and has an intricate scalloped pattern and warm yellow on the underparts. She has a striking deep violet coloured iris.

One of Australia’s silliest bird sounds – the calls of the Wompoo Fruit Dove. Despite the lack of vocal grace, they are still one of the world's most beautiful pigeons! In this sample a group of Wompoo Fruit Doves were having strange gargling conversations while tucking into some rainforest fruit.

Predawn song of a Pied Butcherbird in early spring. Before sunrise at this time of year the song of butcherbirds (and Australian Magpies) is often made up of simpler, more repetitive phrases than the typical full song heard later in the morning - but it's still sublime! #wildoz

As spring approaches, many Australian birds will be ramping up their songs! Over the next month or so on my Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/wildambience), I’ll feature a bunch of beautiful, unusual, iconic or otherwise interesting Australian bird sounds. #wildiz #birds

One of Australia’s underrated birds – the Metallic Starling! In the right light their iridescent purple and green plumage is striking, as are their big red eyes! This species migrates each summer from New Guinea to north Queensland to breed. #wildoz #birds #birding

I have a love/hate relationship with cassowaries. Wonderful birds, until they walk straight at you with that unnerving look in their eye! This Northern Cassowary in West Papua rounded me up in the forest the day after this photo was taken & I ended up shielding behind a tree with heart pumping😅
